Expert Tip
For the crispest chrome French line, ensure your 'sticky layer' for the chrome powder is perfectly placed and that you buff the powder on gently but thoroughly for maximum mirror effect before sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this Cobalt Blue Chrome French manicure last?
With proper application and aftercare, you can expect this gel and chrome design to last 2-3 weeks without chipping.
Can I achieve the chrome effect with regular nail polish?
While you can achieve a metallic look, true chrome powder's mirror-like finish is best achieved with a gel polish system and a no-wipe top coat.
What nail shape best suits this design?
Almond, coffin, and oval shapes truly highlight the elegant French tip and the vibrant cobalt base, allowing enough surface area for the chrome effect.
Is chrome powder safe for my nails?
Yes, when applied correctly within a gel system and sealed properly, chrome powder is safe and does not damage your natural nails.
Can I use a different color chrome powder?
Absolutely! A silver chrome or even a holographic chrome could create a different, equally stunning effect with the cobalt blue base.
Will the blue color fade over time?
High-quality gel polishes, especially when sealed with a good top coat, are highly resistant to fading, ensuring your cobalt blue stays vibrant.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails hydrated with nourishing cuticle oil and hand cream.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails to prolong the life of the gel and chrome.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals without protective gloves.

Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in acetone, place them on nails, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick, avoiding harsh scraping.
